Ambassador Eustis Will Protest Against the Recent Decree. Mr. Eustis, our ambassador to France, will be instructed to enter a prompt and vigorous protest against the decree just made excluding American cattle from France. As the decree is ostensibly based on the existence of pleuro-pneumonia and Texas fever in cattle coming from the United States, the ambassador will call for proof of the fact. That will mean long and tedious expert examinations by veterina- rians and much correspondence, which is not expected to be of any more avail thaa that into which Mr. Runyon, our ambassa- dor to Germany, was plunged by the issue of a similar decree by the German govern- ment, for it is fully realized here that the allegation that American cattle are un- healthy is the merest pretense in both cases, and that the real reason is fear of American competition. In the case of France the press cable dispatches have shown that the ministry has been urged to the issue of the decree by delegation after delegation representing the numerous and well-organized agricultural societies of the republic, solely for their protection against the American cattle grower. In order to grant the demand and yet at the same time to avoid the ‘charge that France was vio- lating the most favored nation clause in its treaty with the United States, which would properly lie if the latter were singled out from other natiqns for an attack of this kind, it was necessary that recourse should be had to the device which had availed Germany so well, of charging. unhealthful- ness upon American cattle. This charge is always hard to rebut, owing to the ease with which expert testimony may be had on either side of the.case. ‘The American trade in cattle with France had grown to considerable proportions, the shipments during the six months ending December 81 last being 13,441 head, and during the month ofJanuary last 801 head. Secretary Morton was careful about ex- pressing his opinion touching the French decree, but it could, be seen that he re- garded it as a mere political manifestation, and felt that it would not be continued in force for any considerable length of time, and that the next change in the French cabinet would probably be followed by the revocation of the decree. Notwithstanding this, the belief is growing and deepening here that these decrees are but forerun- ners of other and mcre severe restrictions upon American trade, the next blow, per- haps, being likely to fall upon wheat. No Damages Awarded. In the case of John Cullen, administrator of the estate of Paul Cullen, who was killed March 6, 1892, by an engine on the tracks of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, on 6th street near Maryland avenue, Judge Bradley directed, yesterday, a verdict in favor of the company. The plaintiff claim- ed damages in the sum of $10,000, but it was claimed by the company that the deceased, a boy of fifteen, was not blameless, haying, the company contended, run in front of the engine. | THE SOCIAL WORLD The Washington Assembly Crowns the Gay Season. MARRIED AMID FLOWERS AND FRIENDS One a Home Wedding and the Other at Historic St. John’s. MRS. ATTWELL’S TEA The gay world has had few chances of participating in an event: as brilliantly beautiful as the Washington Assembly last night. The company was large, but each new arrival added a new clement_of pleas- ure, for, with so much room for everybody, there seemed no point in the large ball room suite at the Arlington where it look- ed crowded. When the guests entered they were received by one or other of the gov- ernors, who escorted them to the middle parlor, where Capt. Alexander Rodgers made the presentations to the hostess of the evening, Mrs. Phil. Sheridan. The lat- ter was radiant in a gown of white satin with flashing jewels. The floral decorations Were on a most magnificent scale. The latest Paris fashion, which combines with leaves and flower garlands bright-hued rib- bons, was followed out in a liberal style, and at every step of the progress of the guests through the rooms and ball rooms there was some new, artistic touch to ad- mire. The one dominant feature in the scheme was suspending baskets, filled with flowers, around the walls by broad ribbons the color of the leading flower. In two of the parlors these baskets were filled with American beauty roses, and in the white parlor, at the end of the suite, hanging against the mirror, was a hasket of pink orchids held by ribbons of the same color. In the ball room the same idea was car- ried out. The background for the baskets, which were filled with the roses and genesta blooms, were the mirrors, around the lower edge of which were ~ellow tulips and jonquils. On the face of the gallery three green wreaths were held in place by great bows and loops of American beauty ribbon—conspicuous amid the quantities of foliage which adorned this end of the room. The musicians were sta- tioned behind a laurel screen, sprayed with roses and lilies. The ceiling was sprayed with wild clematis vines, and the doorways of the middle parlor were bow- ered in green vines, in which a number of electric lights glowed under varied col- ored globes. There were twenty-one dances on the card, and all the music was entir new, Supper was served in the dining hall of the hotel on small tables, each of which had a floral centerpiece. After the mid- night feast dancing was again resumed,and after the majority of the company had departed at 2:30 Mr. Edward McCauley led a cotillion, for which the favors were cor- sage knots of different flowers. . -The governors of the assembly are Judg John Davis, president; Capt. Alexarder Rodgers, Walter V. Berry, Calderon Carlisle, Charles C. Glover, Arnold Hague, John Hay, George Hellen, Imperiali di Francavilla, Edward McCauley, Henry May, J. Van Ness Philip, John C. Poor, J. Rufus Tryon and Wm. Hall Slack. To the latter all the arrangements were en- trusted and to their brilliant execution the beauty of the scene is due. The ball gowns looked as fresh as if the season were onty commencing instead of being in its closing hours, and the grouping of the delicate colors as the guests moved from room to room was most at-. tractive. Among the subscribers to the Assembly, most of whom were present, were: The British ambassador and Lady Pauncefote, the Misses Pauncefote, Secretary’ and Mrs Lamont, Mrs. Perrine, Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller, Miss Fuller, Miss Herbert, Col. and Mrs. Huidekoper, Mrs. John McPherson, Miss McPherson, Mr. G.

A large company of relatives, out-of-town and resident acquaintances were present at the residence of Representative Draper at_ 1230 today to witness the marriege of his daughter, Miss Edith Draper, to Mr. Montgomery Blair. The ceremony took Place*in the large drawing room at the right of the hall, which, like other parts of the house, was most elaborately deco- rated with palms and plants. The couple stood under a palm bower, from the center of which was suspended a bell of white carnations with a border of tea roses and lilies of the valley and a clapper of purple violets. The bride was unattended ty bridesmaids, although a number of young ladies who had been designated came gowned in white and were presented with bouquets of bridesmaid roses. They held the white ribbons which formed an aisle, through which the bride and her father approached the bower. Mr. Woodbury Blair was best man for his brother. The ceremony was performed: by Rev. Mackay- Smith of St. John’s Church. The bride was richly gowned in white satin and tulle and carried a bouquet of bride roses and orchids. Many of her New England reia- tives were present, and the relatives and friends of the groom’s family brought to- gether a prominent element of the old Dis- trict and Maryland families. The groom is a son of the late Montgomery Blair, who was Postmaster General in Mr. Lincoln's cabinet, and a man of great distinction and prominence throughout his life. Mr. and Mrs. Blair started for a wedding trip late this afternoon and when they return will reside at the Blair mansion on Pennsyl- vania avenue. The marriage at noon at St. John’s Church of Miss Susan Hunt Stetson and Lieut. Frank F. Fletcher, U. S. N., filled the church by their friends, The chancel was tastefully set with palms and in the vases on the altar were bouquets of Cath- erine Mermet roses. When the bridal party arrived the ushers, forming at the chancel gate, came down the aisle and then walked ahead of the bridesmaids to the altar. The four ushers, who are navy men, wore their full-dress uniform, as did the groom and his best man, Lieut. Laird. The ushers were Lieuts. Barnett, Hodges, Keys and Tappen, Mr. Roland Phillips and Mr. Caleb Rockford Stetson, brother of the bride. The bridesmaids were Miss Florence Brown and Miss Grace Boutelle. The bride came into church with her father, and at the chancel gate was met by the groom and his best man. Bishep Clifton Pennick of Baltimore performed the ceremony, assisted by Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith. The latter officiated in the betrothal service before the couple passed into the chancel. The bride was superbly gowned in white satin. The bod- ice was slashed to show plaitings of white chiffon and elaborate passementeries of pearls, of which the whole waist seemed covered. Her tulle veil was caught by a diamond and pear! star, and a diamond brooch was also worn, the gifts of the groom. The bridesmaids were most dain- tily gowned in white satin-striped silks, with bodices of white chiffon, and short veils of tulle were worn hanging from prettily arranged bows of white satin. They wore stick pins, laurel wreath with pearls, the gifts of the bride, and they carried large bouquets of Catherine Mermet roses. A reception followed the ceremony at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. ‘and Mrs. George Rockford Stetson, 1441 Mas- sachusetts avenue, which was attended by the relatives and a few intimate friends. -The drawing rooms were decked with Cath- erine Mermet.roses, white lilies and palms. Later in the afternoon Lieut. and Mrs. Fletcher started off for a wedding trip, and upon their return will spend ‘some time with Mr. and Mrs. Stetson, where the bride will receive her friends on Thursdays, the 2ist and 28th of March. Lieut. Fletcher is in command of the torpedo beat Cushing. The bride received quantities of very ele- gant presents. Miss Voorhees entertained at a luncheon yesterday to meet Mrs. Manning, Mrs. Field, Mrs. Guzman, Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Heber May, Mrs. William Orr Cunningham, Mrs. Lieber, Mrs. Crosby, Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Cabell and Miss Lurman of Baltimore.
